About the Property
Rich with character, heart and soul, St Johns is not merely an exquisite 10.5 acre estate – it is a treasured vestige of Queensland’s history.

Rich with character, heart and soul, St Johns is not merely an exquisite 10.5 acre estate – it is a treasured vestige of Queensland’s history. With the original Parish, founded by the Sisters of Mercy in Roma in 1881 and subsequent St Johns Convent completed in 1912, the halls of this former centre of faith and education once echoed with the sound of children’s footsteps and laughter, before beginning a new chapter in 1998. Relocated to where it stands today, atop the crest of a sprawling landscape and surrounded by majestic 360-degree views, it is an extraordinary family sanctuary that will enchant and captivate from the moment you arrive.
A grand haven, it has continued to evolve while honouring its past. Soaring pressed metal ceilings, polished timber floors and French doors offer a nod to its past, while the magnificent Garsden Clarke kitchen with premium appliances, a butler’s pantry and cold room makes it a modern entertainer. Complemented by multiple living and dining zones, a bespoke cellar and signature wraparound verandah, linger here to gaze upon mesmerising views that sweep from Mount Elphinstone across to the Gold Coast hinterland and Mount Tamborine.
Beyond the main 6-bed home, the estate unfolds with vast expanses of usable land, an emerald green entertaining lawn to host lavish celebrations and ornamental gardens that add to the quiet beauty. There’s even an 18m pool for an endless summer and a charming two-bedroom guest house to welcome visitors in complete comfort.
The finest homes, however, are measured not by what they possess, but by what they make you feel. A heartfelt haven for over a century, it’s less like somewhere you own, and more like somewhere you belong. Offering complete privacy and a genuine country lifestyle only 20km from Brisbane’s CBD, become the proud custodian of one of Queensland’s most remarkable private estates.
